    Excellent !!! that is the 1st time I have seen that type of tedder working.. Liked the horse. good steady farm horse. The material looks quite short ? I can imagine your tedder working really well with slighty longer material.. Thanks for posting this.

    thank you for the interest, we had a brillant time turning the hay this year even so there was no hay to turn, the weather was so dry that we have to buy some hay from a farmer friend. Isa is fantastic, she is 15, our eldest daughter rides her , she is so patient with us, specialy with me.

    Hello Marie! I have a similar tedder I used this year and it worked well with a bit longer hay. I used a team on mine and it seemed to be almost no effort for them – probably more suited to one horse. Unfortunately, I broke/chipped one of the cogs that engages the drive so now I have to figure out how to fix it. I have a picture of my tedding operation in the albums here – called “Red and Ranger Tedding” I think.

    Nice you could have a video! And welcome to DAPNet.
